The article, "Hounded and ridiculed for complaining of rape" by Jonah Fisher is a grim recounting of the treacheries perpetrated on the Rohingya communities by the people who are tasked with protecting these communities. These acts are then being denied by the countries government and further harassment continues.

WRAP is co-sponsoring this event. Please join us to show support for refugees in America. We cannot be silent.

We urge everyone to come out and support our immigrant and refugee community and tell Worcester City Councilors to reject Councilor Gaffney’s anti-refugee, anti-immigrant City Council proposal.

Worcester will not be bullied into turning in our undocumented neighbors, friends, families, young people, and coworkers. We expect that our elected officials remain committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all members of this community, regardless of their citizenship status. We urge our fellow community members to stand in solidarity with all those fleeing persecution, poverty and violence. Worcester cannot be a welcoming community for some of us, while turning its back on others.

Location: City HallDay, time: Tuesday, January 31st from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm
